Resumen: El presente artículo pretender dar una visión global de la protección del derecho a la cultura a través del derecho internacional penal y en concreto, a través de la tipificación de los crímenes de destrucción del patrimonio cultural. La persecución de tales delitos internacionales ha seguido la senda de otros crímenes en derecho internacional penal, englobándose en un primer momento entre los crímenes de guerra para de forma posterior superar dicha tipificación para poder ser tratado como crímenes de lesa humanidad de persecución e incluso, como indicios de una conducta genocida. En el presente contexto internacional, la denegación del derecho a la cultura como método de guerra es innegable en los conflictos protagonizados por los nuevos actores internacionales por lo que la solución final del derecho internacional penal debe progresar para erigirse en un método de protección privilegiado. Abstract:  The present article intends to give a global vision of the protection of the right to culture through international criminal law and in particular, through the tipification of crimes of destruction of cultural heritage. The prosecution of such international crimes has followed the path of other crimes in international criminal law, initially included in the type of war crimes and later overcoming such tipification in order to be treated as a crime against humanity of persecution and even, as indications of a genocidal behavior. In the present international context, the denial of the right to culture as a method of warfare is undeniable in conflicts involving new international actors, so the final solution of international criminal law must progress to become a privileged method of protection.
